What's special about where you live?

[Morpheus]

I live near 3 important places:

1.Fort Knox is the biggest gold vault in the world, and a good military base to boot. Also, if you have never lived by a base, you would probably freak out over all of the bombing noises.

2. They don't call it Mammoth Cave for nothing. That place is huge! There are dozens of different hour-long tours to choose from, and each one takes you through really cool stuff.

3. Abraham Lincoln's Birthplace is mostly about historical significance, but it's still pretty cool to take a tour.

Also, one of my town's buildings was destroyed in a civiil war battle. Interesting none the less.

One bad thing, though, is that I live near this weird dude that makes accounts on weird message boards using the name of a character from the Matrix. He really creeps me out.

[Juu]

[size=1]I live in San Francisco.

1) Gold Rush. Yawn, boring.

2) Golden Gate Bridge/hills/weird houses/Fisherman's Wharf/Castro/Cable Cars. Still boring.

3) Majorily liberal, strongly supports gay rights, rallies, outspoken, artistic, bands always come here on tours, always something to do, very diverse, open-minded ...town overall. w00t!1[/size]

[Billy Shears]

[COLOR=DarkRed][SIZE=1]I live near Chicago...which used to be special because of the Bulls, but we haven't made an impact on sports in about 7 years since then. Then there is the Sears Tower, so thats kinda cool. Then we dye the Chicago river green for St. Patrick's Day.

So overall, I live by a has been basketball team, a tall building and miscolored bodies of water. Yeah, Chicago kicks arse.

-the one and only

PS. Juuthena, I loathe you for living in the skateboarder's mecca

[color=darkslategray][b]1.) New York City[/b] is only about an hour and a half south of where I live. The City has so much historical reference, and is said to be the heartbeat of America. It includes many infamous buildings such as the Empire State, Chrystler, and the late, World Trade Center Towers (which are soon to become memorialized).

[b]2.) Niagra Falls[/b] is about six hours north of where I live. Just on the US/Canada border. When tourists come to New York, they go to either of two places; NYC or Niagra Falls. Beautiful water fall, and a trade mark for the state.

[b]3.) Ithica College[/b]. C'mon, who's seen [i]Road Trip[/i]? That college is about two and a half hours northwest of me. I think that's pretty awesome.

[b]4.) Living only two hours away from Alex (Siren)[/b] is pretty hot. I know that's not in my state, but hey, who wouldn't be excited to live so close to the Alex? Okay, don't answer that. But I am excited about it.[/color]

[Black Moon]

Umm.

I live a few minutes away from Springfeild, IL, which has a a lot of stuff about Abraham Lincoln.

... And ... LP came to Springfeild once on tour? xD ... Psst. What else. Oh! I live in the big black hole that no one knows about between Chicago and Kentucky. And I'm a few (3-4) hours away from Chicago or the other direction, St. Louis. Wow. We so rock, don't we?

[Sara]

[color=#ff6600]Oh man, you guys! Just [i]wait[/i] till you hear all this good stuff!

I'm from [b]Wisconsin[/b], which is clearly the Coolest State Ever. Not only is it [b]America's Dairyland[/b] (our license plates say so! And there are many people bitter about the fact that--shush!--California is actually the leader in dairy production. Ahem.) but it's also a [b]leader in canning peas[/b]. This does not sound impressive, but it is true (or at least, true enough to be included in the anthem that won some "Write a Wisconsin Anthem!" contest: [i]Wisconsin is a leader in canning peas; it invented malted milk and types of cheese..[/i])

Speaking of cheese! Despite the fact that the Green Bay really seems to be the only thing that anyone outside the Midwest knows about Wisconsin, not everyone here follows football or is a fan of the [b]Green Bay Packers.[/b] And I resent being called a "Cheesehead."

However, even though I, personally, do not follow football, many people here do. On Packer Game Days, not only does my city's emergency room stay empty (at least, until after the game :)), but if you turn on the radio, it is possible that you will hear one of several songs written about the Packers. These songs include (but are not limited to!) The Packerena, the Packer Polka ([i]they take the op-po-si-tion, and crunch 'em up like crackers...that's why I love the Green bay Packers[/i]) and The Bears Still Suck.

Goin back up to the Wisconsin Anthem I cited earlier, what about Malted Milk?! You're going to love this: [b]Malted Milk was invented in Racine, Wisconsin[/b]. That's where I live! In fact, it was invented by a guy named William Horlick. [i]We have a high school named after William Horlick.[/i] Is that awesome, or what?

On a quieter note, Laurel Clark, aboard the last mission of the space shuttle [i]Columbia[/i] was from Racine.

Racine is also the home to [b]S. C. Johnson Wax (A Family Company)[/b]. Johnson Wax was founded by Mr. Sam Johnson, and is probably the reason my city actually exists today. For those of you not 'in the know,' Johnson Wax is the company that produces [i]OFF![/i], Raid, Ziploc, Saran (cling wrap), Edge and Skintimate (shaving creams/gels, heh), Windex, Shout, Pledge, Scrubbing Bubbles, Glade (air freshener) and Drano (drain cleanser). Stores here have entire aisles devoted to S.C.J items. Half the city works for the company. Sam Johnson died last spring, and the entire city mourned. Sure, it's a little creepy, but yeah.

The best-known aspect of Racine, however ("Racine: Belle City on the Lake") has to do with a pastry. It's called [b]Kringle[/b], and apparently no one else (outside of, say, Denmark) knows what it is. Or rather, if they do know what it is, it's only because they've been to Racine. I cannot count the number of time I have said to someone, "I am from Racine," and they have replied, "Oh! Kringle, right?"

If you Google 'Kringle' at least three of the top ten results (and two of the top three) are sites based on companies from my city. [url= http://www.kringle.com/]For example (there's a picture).[/url] It's really good stuff, and people have it all the time at meetings, church functions, pot-lucks, or even breakfast. It never occured to me that other places would not have kringle (it's sorta ingrained into my soul after have grown up in Racine). I've spent the last several months trying to find someone up here (again, I'm currently a a few hours norwest of home) who knows what Kringle is. I have found one person who knows what it is....but only because her grandparents live in Racine!

And finally, because as much as I love pretending to be a brochure, there's only so much perkiness I can dole out at once, I am going to leave you with a conversation I had a couple months ago with a coworker.

He asked where I lived; I told him. Racine is between Milwaukee and Chicago, and he'd driven through there several times on I-94.

"Yeah," he said, "I know where that is." He paused. [spoiler]"[b]Nothing but cheese shops and porn stores.[/b]"[/spoiler]

And that, my friends, is funny because it's true. (Hopefully Corey can back me up on this, so I don't sound like a moron for finding this hilarious.)

Speaking of Corey, I didn't even touch on all the awesome things about [i]Milwaukee![/i]

,,,,Perhaps a nother time. ^_~

Welcome to [u][url="http://www.moses-lake.com/index.html"]Moses Lake, Washington's Great Escape![/url][/u]

I figure they mean when you are here it is a "great escape" when you can get away! My little hometown of Moses Lake is pretty much in the center of the state of Washington. Unlike what many people think of the "Evergreen State" we do not have trees. We are also known as "The Desert Oasis". Sagebrush and scrub land is pretty much what we have here. Moses Lake is very popular for it's warm weather and great activities for the outdoorsman. Fishing, hunting, rock climbing, water sports, sand dunes for ATVs...if you like being in the outdoors there is plenty to do here.

-Mostly a farming communtiy in this rural area. Lots of family farms and ranches. We did have a mad cow here. It was butchered before they realized it was sick. Of course the place that butchered it also had a beefalo (cow/buffalo crossbred) escape and end up on Interstate 90 which clogged up traffic for a while.

-We have an ill-tempered emu that runs wild near the airport.

-Approximately 16,000 residents. Here are some tidbits about my hometown.

-Japan Airlines has it's flight training school here. My dad works there!

-A episode of the television show "Unsolved Mysteries" was solved here. It was about a guy who "kidnapped" his teenage girlfriend. He was found working at K-Mart in the automotive department. She worked as a desk clerk at a local hotel.

-The airport has one of the largest runways in North America. We are actually one of the emergency landing areas for the Space Shuttle.

-When Mt. St. Helens erupted in 1980 we got the majority of the ash. The farmers loved it since it enriched the farm soil.

-The airport scene for "Die Hard 2" was filmed here.

-The movie "Always" filmed scenes here.

-We had one of the first school shootings here, it's like we started the trend. Back in 1996 a kid freak out and kill his teacher and 2 students, wounding a few others.

-During the Cold War we had Titan missiles here. You can still go out to the empty missile silos and climb around in them. Lots of urban legends surround that place.

-In the near by town of Lind, Washington they have an annual Combine Demo Derby. They take these huge combines that are normally used to harvest crops and smash them up. It is a yearly event people travel miles to see.

And the most important reason my hometown is special: I live here! ::strikes pose::

Well, nothing as exciting as the rest of you who live in big cities with great museums, cultural events and historical sites. Small town in the middle of nowhere. Nothing amazing ever happens here. I know, I sound like Naota from FLCL.

[GrafX]

1. [B]Meet your fellow tourists![/B] Hang out in Waikiki, and see fellow toursits and buy overpriced stuff! YAY! (in other words, if you come here, go to Ala Moana or Ward...or ABC store. They have cheap stuff there. xD)

2. [B]Beaches.[/B] Where I live, we are basically known for our beaches. Not supprising, since were surrounded by water anyway. . .

3. [B]Nice weather![/B] Okay, okay, so the past week was rainy, but now, and usually, we have bright, sunny, cloudless days. Perfect for vacationing (or so they say)

4. [B]Good rice![/B] XD Well, maybe its just me, but when I go to the mainland...they either don't have rice in restaurants, or they have really, really crunchy rice. O_o But here, you get nice, warm fresh rice! yay! . . .^^;

5. [B]Monuments[/B] There's Pearl Harbor, well known from WWII. Then we have a bunch of battleships, planes...everything and anything for the avid WWII person.

6. [B]Anime plays earlier here![/B] Compared to the east coast, adult swim anime, from what I hear, plays around midnight. Here, Inuyasha plays at 10 on weekdays, and FMA plays at 11 with GitS at 1130.

7. [B]Learn a new language![/B] Well, not really...it's still english...but for some reason when people visit us, they have a hard time understanding anyone...O-o
but if you stay here long enough, you'll start talking pidgeon like the rest of us...XD

Ya can probably tell where I live now...^^;

[Onix]

[COLOR=SlateGray][SIZE=1]What's here in scenic Shoreline, WA?...*thinks*. Actually, I think everything is in Seattle...No, there's nothing in Shoreline. I must live in one of the most boring cities on earth. So instead, I'll just describe bustling Seattle, alright?

Seattle is the birthplace of Grunge, the first place you could get a latte outside of Italy, and is home of the Space Needle. We've got big buildings, big traffic jams, and big cups of coffee. It's a breeding ground for artists, tech-heads, and people in desparate need of caffine.

It's smattered with forests, cities, and beaches, including Puget Sound, Green Lake, Lake Washington, and Richmond Beach. Though none of those are particularly good. There are pleanty of parks and good places to hike. And if you hate nature, just dive into downtown Seattle, breath in the sweet stink of exhaust fumes, and sip on your double-shot mocha frappuchino with no foam and sprinkles. And a muffin, if you're not on a diet.

Yup, Seattle's pretty interesting. But not Shoreline. Small, uninteresting Shoreline. Lousy peaceful suburb...

Oh, I forgot, The entirety of the upcoming movie Elizabethtown was filmed here. Only the opening was filmed in my town, though. You will get to see the town square of this beautiful town. Redone ccompletely for the film, but it's there none the less.

Welcome to Derby Kansas the only thing good here is that we live by Wichita which has Boening, one of the US's biggest plane producing company. Besides that, this place absolutely sux!!!

[Corey]

[size=1]Goddamn Lore... And here I was hoping to get away with saying that the only great thing about Milwaukee is that the lake we're on (Lake Michigan) is about a Ph point away from being to acidic to support life.

Meh. I'll just have to delve a little deeper.
???
Milwaukee, Wisconsin is the most segregated city in the US. We have everything from the suburbs, with their hordes of rampaging caucasian preps, to little Africa and all the events, unfortunately they all support the stereotype of black people, that happen there. We also have a little Haiti, Little Mexico (among other Hispanic people), Little India. and Little Beatnik territory (also known as the fashionable eastside, home to all (if not most) of the nightclubs, high end bars, and trendy teeager hangouts in the city).

If you go out into the polluted lake, about a mile or so I believe, and look back at our skyline, it looks like it's flipping you off.

Milwaukee has a very large black market, dispite the lack of hype things like this usually get.

We are home to the nationally acclaimed The Rave music club, which inside has The Eagles Ballroom and a stunning number of basement stages.

The highschool I go to (Milwaukee Highschool of The Arts) is internationally known for it's absolutely great Jazz Lab combo. It's a different group of kids every year and they still manage to win awards both in the states and abroad.

As a wonderful bit of statistics for you all today, Milwaukee teens smoke more pot than any other city in the US.

We are home to one of the biggest music festivals in the world, Summerfest. People come from all around the states and outside of them for the festival. Huge names come every year, and its never the same shows.

I'm pretty sure Wisconsin is one of the lead producers of feed corn for cattle and pigs and such, but not completely sure.

Wisconsin was settled mostly by German and Irish peoples which is why were labeled as a bunch of drunk fat people.

We also have a great new Art Museum that's one of the best in the Midwest.

Is that good enough?[/size]

[Fall]

I live in a desert town. Unless you're a student studying... deserts, you're not gonna find anything too special around the good old city of Dubbo. We got an olympic pool thats run down, and it's more fun sittin' out the front throwing rocks over the fence than actually spending the day there.

Good side? You get to see everything scorching hot temperatures can eventually do to you, and anything you want to know about deserts; the answer is right before your very eyes... and the pool.. if you like throwing rocks. :smoke:

Bad side? ...don't get me started.

[Rei_Man]

I live in Stoke-on-Trent, United Kingdom.

1. The captain (or second-in-command. I can't remember which...) of the Titanic was born here. How interesting. He crashed a ship.

2. Robbie Williams, an English celebrity singer guy, was born here. One of my friends even knows his mom. Wow. :sleep:

3. We used to be famous for pottery, before the industry went downhill. Now we're famous for being one of the worst areas, in terms of unemployment, in the country. How nice.

4. And last but not least, we have lots of miserable weather. Oh. Yes.

.....Oh, how I hate my home town.

[QuincyArcher]

I live in Portland, OR. and although there is really no major history behind this town, probably one of the best things about portland is.... nothing happens here. Portland has a realy Big City/Metropolitan feel to it, but since nothing really momentous happens here (no major crimes, no natuaral disaters, fairly consistant weather) it also has a nice small town/homely feel to it.

One of the only real recreational things to do in portland though, is to go to concerts. so if you're gonna live in portland i hope you like music because theres not much else to do around here. During the summer me and my circle of friends go to concerts on a weekly basis. Plus portland is home to one of my favorite bands, Menomena

[ChibiHorsewoman]

[color=darkviolet]I live in Western New York State. A few interesting manufactuires are here in my city.

[b]George Eastman House[/b]-For those of you who don't know he's the founder of Kodak. Yep, without this guy there would be no American film.

[b]Xerox[/b]-Yes, copy machine people are here too.

[b]Zweigles Hot Dogs.[/b]-Lincoln would be hurt if I forgot these. Rochester, New York is the only place you can buy these hot dogs in stores. There's a website too, but I forgot the name. But...if you find it they're worth the price. These hot dogs are really made from regular meat..and they have white hots :p as well as Red Hots.

[b]Nick Tahoes and Bill Gray's[/b] These two resturaunts are [i]only[/i] found in Rochester. Nick's has a thing called the garbage plate...bring your appetite and your antacids when you go there. My brother-in-law makes it a point to go there when he comes up from Philly. And I love Bill Gray's Cheeseburger's and onion rings.

[b]Abbots Frozen Custard[/b] They've been around since 1904, Great Ice Cream. And my mom found our first cat at the one down by Charlotte Beach.

[b]The Lilac Festival[/b] People come from all over to see 100's of varieties of lilacs and see why Rochester went from the Flour City to the Flower City.

[b]Seabreeze[/b] Yes it's a rather small amusement park, but it has some history. Their wooden rollercoaster, the Jack Rabbit, has been around since the early 1900's. They also used to have this really old carousel with carved wood horses and everything, but it burned down in 1994. A new one was built in 1998 I think.

[b]Niagra Falls[/b] You can either take 490 West to I-90 West and get there from Buffalo or just take 104 up there. It's about a 2 hour trip and well worth it.


[b]Six Flags Darien Lake.[/b] 490 West to I-90 West

More later I have to let my mom work.[/color]

[SIZE=1]Interesting, most interesting.

?It?s a long way to Tipperary? As the song went, well not for me as I?m from Tipperary, not far from where the moderator Red used to live, although he was from the north of the county. Actually that song is about a bordello in London so I am actually a long way from there, anyhow a little bit about my small corner of the world.

The area is pretty well known in Irish mythology and legend, the Mountain being the supposed setting for the race to determine who Cú Chulainn?s bride would be, I actually live quite near the mountain. The area was actually habitually visited by William Wordsworth, the poet and writer, who used to spend hours by the river, other than that I have playwright Andrew Lloyd Webber as a neighbour, although he only spends about six weeks a year in Ireland.

That?s my own near area [within a radius of say 5 miles], Tipperary as a region has much too much history to go into, suffice to say there?s heck of a lot of stuff to be seen. Much of it has to do with Irish History [the first flag of the Irish Republic was flown about 40 miles from where I live], but there's also huge cultural base oin the area as Tipperary is as emerced in Irish affairs as any other county [more than many]. One last thing is a picture of the mountain I was talking about, this picture was taken about 2 miles from my house.[/size]

Gee, I live in Iowa. We have corn growing within my suburb, there has recently been a big court deal about a man who wants to build a horse barn......uh.....did I mention we have corn? And soy beans! No to mention that everyone in Iowa is really nice.....and we have a low sales tax.....aaaaaaand......we probably will never get a nuclear attack or anything near us because nothing ever happens. Yet our airport security still insists on wanding the elderly guy in the wheelchair.

I love [B]Buffalo[/B]'s Killer [B]Pro Lacrosse Team[/B]: the [B]Buffalo Bandits[/B]. And my family knows some of those guys personally. They're such nice guys, totally down to earth.

Never swim in [B]Lake Erie[/B], you never know what you'll catch in there. But [B]Niagara Falls[/B] is awesome, and [B]Clifton Hill[/B] is always a good place to go for the day if you wanna get some food from the [B]Rainforest Cafe[/B] and go shopping, although that's more or less in [B]Canada[/B]. If you go up to the [B]Tuscarora Indian Reservation[/B] in the summer, you can see [B]Fireball[/B]. It's like rugby, but the ball's on fire and it's played by guys that are mostly drunk.

Very entertaining.

The local [B]Media Play[/B] usually also hosts an [B]Anime Club[/B] once every two weeks or so. It's a lot of fun, you can just go and hang out with some other people that share your interests.

Well, that's from what I know, if there's anything I missed, Chibi Horsewoman will probably cover it.

And hey, Chibi! Have you gone to [B]Darien Lake[/B] and rode all of the roller coasters until you got sick?

I'd have to say that Atlanta is pretty okay, if you like the whole city scene, then this place is perfect.I would love to bore you guys with the history, but I'd rather not, so I'll talk about the present instead.

[b]-Great Clubs-[/b]I can tell you from experience about the clubs here, even though I'm not a club person, I still tend to have a good time.

[b]-Famous People-[/b]Everywhere you look, there's always famous people here, and a lot of them live here too. From Ted Turner, to Lil Jon, you'll see someone, trust me.

[b]-The Atlanta Zoo-[/b]Although it's a tourist attraction, I love to take pictures of the animals, they're really good models.Heh.

[b]-Music Videos-[/b]A lot of music videos are shot around here too, mainly by Lil Jon, Usher, Ciera, T.I., and all those other Atlanta people out there.

All in all, pretty great place to live.[/font]

Mmm. Elizabethtown Pennsylvnia. Hmm...scanning....scanning...

I'm failing to pick up anything really interesting about this area. I's only two hours from Philly, which is cool, and the scenery's beautiful, but that's about it.

[color=darkviolet]Dude! Sweet, another Western NEw Yorker!.

Oh, like Jung Woo said, [i]don't[/i] swim in Lake Erie. Lake Otario's cool...but only at Hamlin Beach State park. I wouldn't trust Charlotte Beach, it gets closed most of the summer because of bacteria. Also, I wouldn't trust the Erie canal, but for some reason my brother and his friends do. They use one of the old railroad bridges by our house to jump from and get El knows what.

My Media Plays (there's one in Greece and one in Henrietta) don't have any anime clubs, but they have crap loads of Anime and Manga. If you can't find it in one store, just drive a few towns over and the other one should have it.

Oh, I can't believe I forgot about this, but there is one store I haven't seen anywhere [b]Empire Comics[/b]. They have crap loads of both Japanese and American comics. As well as toys, models, videos, DVDs, card games, and a bunch of Japanese imports. The best one is on Mt.Hope BLVD right across from the [b]Mt. Hope Cemetary[/b] which was founded in the 1830's and is also quite beautiful. Especially in the older sections. An interesting thing to note is that many of the headstones in the older section are written in German.

[b]Cooperstown, NY home of the Baseball Hall of Fame[/b]-A fairly decent drive, from my place of existance but a very cool place to visit. Cooperstown is a very charming town, You can also visit other attractions...which I forgot the names of since i haven't been there since 96.

[b]Black North Farm[/b] Eh, I may as well mention it since there isn't another one like it. That's the name of the stable I ride at. I've been there for 12 years, baring the year I was in Texas.

I haven't ridden the roller coasters until I've gotten sick, but I have rode them until I got really dizzy and grabbed a hold of some guy that I thought was my dad (back when I was like 7 or something. And then I got a bad head ache when I went with my best friend.

[b]Letchworth State Park, Stoney Brook State Park, The land in the Southern Tier where my dad goes hunting...[/b]Great places for hiking. Also the [b]trails along the Erie Canal[/b] Which were originally for the mules that pulled the boats in the canal when it was first built. Those are great bike trails from the spring to late fall.

I could go on, but I might bore people.
